5. (b) Centrifugal Sedimentation sedimentation velocity sedimentation equilibrium  = angular velocity (rpm)

6. b.1 Sedimentation velocity an analytical ultracentrifugation method that measures the rate at which molecules move in response to centrifugal force generated in a centrifuge.  This sedimentation rate provides information about both the molecular mass and the shape of molecules.  In some cases this technique can also measure diffusion coefficients (D).

10. 3. Optical property A colloidal system contains particles that affect a light beam by scattering and absorption.  If the particles are of a size comparable to the wavelength ( ) of light or larger, they scatter or absorb light independently.  The same thing happens if they are separated by distances comparable to or greater than the wavelength ( ) of light.

11. 3. Common Optical phenomena the interaction of light from the sun or moon with the atmosphere, clouds, water, or dust and other particulates
